Listen, feel and taste the salt of life.
As the winds winding up the sea.
Lashes out and roars.
Smooths the rocks.
And everything tastes of salt.
Lyssna, känn och smaka på livets salt.
Som vindarna piskar upp havet.
Brusar upp och vrålar.
Mjuknar klipporna.
Och allt smakar av salt.
See the sea, ha de Gött!
All good things come in three. Same motif from three angles.
Don’t just take a look, take a good look. Ha de Gött!
This photo almost costed me my camera and an involantary swim!
I took this one hanging over the boat railing to get a fisheye perspective. Must be my thick head because it was very difficult avoiding tipping over with my upper body. Luck, acrobatic skill or just having a guardian angel I managed to get back in the boat.
Balance is everything, ha de Gött!
Not a full grown but still it’s antler has 8 spikes. We’ve met before and closer but then I didn’t manage to get the camera out. This time I finally did but not with the zoom lens on.
The moose (Alces alces) or elk in British English can be found in northern Europe, America and Asia. It’s also referred to as the King of the Forest since the the antle looks like a crown. They are normally not very dangerous but as all wild animals they can be agressive if they feel threatened.
Highest risk for both moose and human is road accidents. It’s one of the highest accident rates in Scandinavia. During 2025 there was 6500 road accidents involving a moose and 75% of them were killed. This is why Volvo has a special crash test for avoiding or hitting a moose.
Hell to the King, ha de Gött!
The washed up tree on the beach. Tumbled in the storm and ended up here. Tossed up and down in the waves.
Where did fall?
Was it just in the next bay or did it travel across the sea. Climbed by kids in a far away land. One day just gone.
Everything carries a story, ha de Gött!
Nice weekend, ha de Gött!
Cows meet at the waterhole for evening drinks. Ha de Gött!
Don’t be too hard on yourself, ha de Gött!
The schooner Ingo at the harbour of Göteborg. You can rent this for events but you need to help out sailing her. Note; a boat is always she even with a male name. It would be fun but you’ll never get me climb up the 26 metres high masts!
Some more fun fact. Overall lenght 38m and width 7,1m. 10 sails with an area of 440m². She was built as late as 1922 in Sjötorp at the shore of Swedens largest lake Vänern and was one of the last sail ships built in that shipyard.
If you like to find out more check the website here. In Swedish but Google can translate.
Hoist the Jolly Roger, ha de Gött!
Saturday we celebrated 28 years merried, me and my wife. After that long time we know how to keep eachother happy. I drop her off at a shopping mall and I take a drive with my camera. We find different things!
Together is not always in the same place, ha de Gött!
